Abstract

Thermal insulation materials provide thermal energy savings. Classic insulation materials (stone wool and polystyrene) dominate the European market, but researchers’ efforts are aimed towards improving their efficiency and developing new insulation materials. They are evaluated according to their physical properties, effect on people and the environment, installation difficulty and price. In this paper a material for thermal insulation of roof construction and internal walls has been designed from apparel cutting waste and its thermal conductivity (W/mK) has been determined. The results show a thermal conductivity of 0.05198-0.06032 (W/mK), comparable to the conductivity of standard insulation materials and insulation materials in the form of textile fibers.
